Guess I'll just post a few favourites...
Art Ensemble of Chicago - Les Stances A Sophie
- Avant garde jazz, which I love not only due to the proficiency of the artists, but also a interesting interpretation of classic/classical ideas. Favourite songs include 'Variations Sur Un Theme De Monteverdi', 'Theme De Yoyo' and 'Theme Amor Universal'.
- Theme De Yoyo
Charles Mingus - Pithecantropus Erectus or The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
- Classics in every sense of the word. I can't really split them. (Can't find any bloody youtube vids)
Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages
- Pushing away from conventional jazz, ATA is Sharrock's best work IMO, doing his normal stunning work as lead jazz guitar. Supported by a top crew including Pharaoh Sanders.
- Many Mansions
Nils Petter Movlaer - Khmer
- One of the best albums of the 90's. Still holds ground today. The Norwegian trumpeters solo debut.
- On Stream
Contemporary Noise Quintet - Pig Inside The Gentleman
- A newer find, I just find myself loving it every time I listen to it.
- Even Cats Dream About Flying
Many more just thought I would highlight a few worth trying out IMO.
